Trapped

Author's Note:

I wrote this one night after having been in a nice, fancy restaurant filled with people.  Then I realized how many people just needed food, much less an expensive supper.  I felt terrible, but knew that everyone else would think I was being ungrateful and decided to keep quiet.  I wrote this from the deepness of my heart and I literally seem to only be able to write in rhyming lines now.  Please leave comments and enjoy!

Standing in a crowded room

Trying to hold my breath

The words I had in my mouth

Are now falling back down my neck

I can only think of whom

Do not have it all

The ones who have been

Let down or let fall

I gasp and I choke and

I whisper so softly

But then I am judged

So dumb and unlawfully

The tears, they drip down

For I cannot even speak

I am losing my strength

And I'm close to all weak

The love I once had

Has already vanished

I hope for it back

But I only can wish

No one even noticing

No one even cares

No one to rely on

For no one is there

I want to admit this

But I am too scared

I want to tell the world

That this is not fair

If only I were in a different time

Time, life, or place

If only I could tell this to

Somebody's face

I want to help others

I want someone to see

Or maybe the one who needs helping

Is me…
